But, the company has now confirmed that the new functions of EMUI 8.0 would be ported to Honor 8. In a statement given to Android Police, a company spokesperson said, “To ensure Honor 8 users also benefit from the latest user experience upgrades, new functions of EMUI 8.0 will be ported to the Honor 8. Further update details will be released within one week.”

Honor 8 was launched in October 2016, with Android 6.0 Marshmallow based EMUI 4.1. Huawei listened to customer feedback and then launched the EMUI 5 update for the phone in February 2017.
